“Perfect cottage in an ideal setting”



“Spent a lovely week here with the family in april. Very welcoming an ideal location. Only disadvantage was the lack of restaurants and pubs that accept dogs. This however would not prevent us from staying here again.”

“A Rural Retreat”



“Had a fabulous stay at The Haybarn. The Haybarn is one of 3 properties available to rent. All are dog friendly. The facilities are excellent too. We enjoyed a couple of days where the weather was glorious and we were able to sit outside on the verandah overlooking the pond. Ducks, horses and chickens are residents on the farm. The owners dog was seen riding on the back of one of horses too!
Downside would be that the nearest pub was a 2.2 mile walk and with our slow coach of a dog we were hungry and thirsty by the time we got there. But the wait was worth it. If you do stay at the Haybarn you should visit the Windmill Inn at Necton.”

“Beautiful barn conversion with gorgeous gardens.”



“The service we received from the owners was wonderful, upon arriving we got a real warm welcome and then told if we needed anything we only had to ask.
The barn was beautifully decorated, very clean and comfortable. A generously sized shower was lovely to use also.
The location was very rural, very peaceful which is what we look for. The beautifully kept gardens with stream, pond and secret gardens were private and great to sit in on an evening.
To get to the nearest shop and pub etc. you really needed to use the car as they were quiet a way off from the barn.
The only let down was that it didn't mention in the details that you would have other guests living above you...which at times was very noisy as you can hear every footstep which they take.”

Customer reviews

“A wonderful cottage that the owners have taken great care and pride in making the cottage facilitate all your needs. Excellent location to have quality time away in the country but good access to towns and cities. I will be booking to go again and again. Excellent accommodation, would recommend to anyone.”

Miss Baker, St. Neots, December 2014

“Lovely cosy cottage.”

Mr Mumby, Lincoln, October 2014

“The cottage was stunning and we really liked the location, felt very relaxed. Would love to go back in the summer.”

Mr Forman, Rushden, October 2014

“Quiet, peaceful surroundings with the freedom to use the large garden. Lots of birds to watch for an enthusiast, including a Kingfisher. It was nice to see the horses, ducks and chickens. Very pleasant owners. Space for parking and it felt secure as the large gates to the property were kept shut. We liked the double doors opening into the garden.”

Mrs Corbett, Dartford, July 2014

“Enjoyed Norfolk very much and visited several National Trust properties. We were lucky with good weather so we had some lovely walks with our two dogs. Very dog friendly pubs, especially the Peddars Inn at Sporle, they made our dogs very welcome with treats and water! All in all a lovely holiday.”

Mrs House, Dorchester, May 2014

“The kitchen was very well equipped with everything that anyone could ever need, and the quality of the kitchenware is first class, we cooked a full Christmas dinner with no problems at all. The surrounding gardens and outdoor space is lovely, the cottage is quite remote but we do like that, very quiet. The owners were very welcoming and helpful but left you alone to enjoy your holiday. The cottage is very nicely furnished, decorated and very warm with a nice shower. The bed and pillows were comfortable, and the towels were soft and fluffy with a good array. The outside veranda was great, and I can imagine perfect on a nice summers evening! This is a lovely cottage, and we did enjoy our stay.”

Mrs Hudson, Pontefract, December 2013

“It was warm and welcoming, and the attention to detail was impressive. Everything you needed was there, it could not have been better!”

Mr Bateman, Ashford, November 2013

“Fabulous cottage with really tasteful interior décor, very peaceful location, but still fabulous base for great days out.”

Mrs Nast, Milton Keynes, September 2013

“This was a beautifully presented cottage with lots of extras.”

Mrs Houston, Watford, August 2013

“Whoever put the selection of inventory into this property should be congratulated as we could not find any thing that had not been catered for. This is something we have not come across before. Well done.”

Mr Rowsell, Manningtree, August 2013

“A very well equipped and comfortable cottage in delightful quiet rural location. Very pleasant owners. Lots of interesting places to visit. All in all, a very successful holiday.”

Mrs Frye, Cheltenham, July 2013
